Mental Health and Chemical Addiction Services

The HRC provides affordable "safety-net" services for low-income, indigent, and homeless adults and transitional youth who have mental, emotional, behavioral, and/or substance use disorders. Our psychiatrist and nurse-prescribers can provide psychotropic medication. Our counselors and nurse-therapists provide diagnostic assessment, counseling, and psychotherapeutic care. In addition to these core mental health services, we provide other "safety net" services such as psychoeducation and case management. When clients need services not provided by HRC Mental Health Care, we rely on our large network of referral sources to assist us in connecting our clients to the services they need.

Physical Health and Wellness Services

The HRC also provides affordable episodic physical health care for low-income, indigent, and homeless transitional youth who suffer from illness or injury. Our physician and nurse practitioners provide screening, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for physical health problems which are within the scope of practice of our small episodic care clinic. In addition, we provide health and wellness education to promote healthful living. When clients need medical services not provided in our physical health clinic, we rely on our large network of referral sources to assist us in connecting our clients to the health care services they need.

The HRC Physical Health Care Clinic has temporarily suspended operations. We are engaged in a process of needs assessment, redesign, and refurbishment of the medical service facilities.
